After realizing that my current job isn't taking me where I want to be, I started writing science and tech articles a few months ago. Early this week, I wrote a really tough article about a procedure I'd never heard of. Today I was skimming some literature and ran across a scientific paper that used that method, and I remembered exactly what it was. Knowing that I'm learning from my second job (and having fun while I'm at it) MMD.

Girls in Jordan science camp aim for brighter future
44 talented 12 to 15-year-old girls from the Jabal Al-Natheef district of Amman, Jordan will be spending two weeks studying electronics, robotics, and math at SciGirls, a camp set up by 17-year-old Palestinian Canadian, Yara Sifri. Jabal Al-Natheef is a community of approximately 50,000 to 75,000 people living in cramped conditions with little access to higher education.
Sifri came up with the idea for the camp while teaching English and Chess at a community center while visiting her grandparents in Amman. She wanted to give the girls she met there the same opportunities she had growing up in Montreal. The camp is currently running for the first time. Sifri hopes to make it an annual event with the original 44 girls returning to continue their studies, as well as adding more students.
“I’m working towards finding funding for more scholarships,” she said. “I believe in empowerment, to make them realize someone cares about them. Once they are given the chance they will work hard to prove to everyone what they are capable of.”
The other day I was on a plane, and Mr. Aisle started trying to sell me an insane, "oil is abiotic" conspiracy theory. Then, Ms. Window chimed in; she was a geologist. Her polite, yet definitive empircal smackdown of his nonsense MMD.

A few days ago in my science class, my teacher was teaching us about the elements and their properties. Another student asked him what ductile meant, and he immediately took his metre stick and pointed it at a rubber duck attached to the ceiling tile. The entire class died laughing and IMMD.

One day back in the 7th grade we were doing a group project in my life science class involving gummy worms. The first question that we were supposed to answer by examining the gummy worm was ‘how can you tell which end is the head?’, to which the guy sitting next to me answered, “tickle it and see which end laughs”. I was laughing until I got home and it IMMD!
Our school recently had a brand new science block built, and the rooms were partitioned with glass. When we had a class in there, the principal walked in, chatted to us about the new building, turned to leave and walked straight into the super-clean glass wall. IM the whole class’s D.
